This is what the third tub of the washing machine is for. Many people used to add fabric softener, but they were spectacularly wrong.

We finally reveal to you what the function of the third compartment located inside the  washing machine tub is . Once discovered, we are sure that you will always use it, because it will allow you to clean your clothes in a simple but effective way.

The washing machine, an essential household appliance

The  washing machine  is now considered a truly common household appliance, now present in every Italian home. However, not all citizens of our country know how to really use it.

In fact, especially the most advanced and modern washing machines have washing programs that not everyone knows what they are for and which are particularly complex. There are also parts of the washing machine, such as those found, for example, inside the  drawer , that perhaps we do not make full use of.

This can generate frustration in us. You should know that the potential of the latest generation washing machines is truly enormous. We advise you to carefully read the  manufacturer’s instructions  to find out all the details on the operation of your appliance.

If you have lost them, you can connect to the Internet and search for the digital version of the instructions by simply entering the type of washing machine you have.

Only in this way will you be able to know every detail of this appliance and always get clean, fragrant and shiny laundry. One of the most common doubts concerns, for example, the  compartments  found inside the washing machine drawer.

Below we will reveal what their  function is  and, in particular, what the third compartment is for, which many people use incorrectly. Once discovered, we are confident that you will always get clean, shiny and, above all, stain-free clothes.

Washing machine tub, what is it for?

Many wonder what the  third compartment  of the washing machine compartment is for. There are washing machines with only two compartments, while many others have three.

And it is precisely for the latter that doubts arise. Many believe that the first compartment is for the  detergent , that the second is for the fabric softener, perhaps in tablets, and that the third is presumably for the liquid fabric softener.

In reality, this is not the case. This error often causes our  linens  and all laundry in general not to be as clean and fragrant as we would like.

The fact is that the third compartment was actually created by the manufacturers to allow the insertion of detergent. But then what is the  difference  between the first compartment and the third? This is the question many ask themselves.

It is good to know that the first compartment is intended for the detergent used to carry out the standard wash; the third, however, to the detergent that is taken from the appliance   in the prewash phase .

Yes, because many washing machines allow pre-washing on the dirtiest items: therefore, the particularly  disinfectant  and stain-removing detergent, which is used in the pre-wash phase, should be placed in the third compartment.
